Tonight, TNT airs the last episode of King & Maxwell’s first season. Should the cop series return for a second season or should it be cancelled instead? Is it a ratings hit? Cancel or keep it?
King & Maxwell takes place in Washington, DC and revolves around a pair of former Secret Service agents (Jon Tenney and Rebecca Romijn) who’ve become private eyes. Co-stars in the series include Ryan Hurst, Michael O’Keefe, and Chris Butler.
The show debuted on June 10th to 3.52 million viewers with a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That was a very positive start. Viewership fell 21% in week two but climbed back upward in later weeks.
A couple weeks ago, King & Maxwell nearly matched its premiere with 3.39 million and a 0.5 demo rating.
While the new show isn’t as popular as Major Crimes (4.82 million) or Rizzoli & Isles (5.66 million), it’s nearly matching fellow TNT dramas Falling Skies and Perception (3.53 million apiece).
Though they haven’t announced it yet, I suspect that TNT will bring King & Maxwell back for a second season.
But, what do you think? Does King & Maxwell deserve a second season? Or, should it be cancelled to make way for something else? Cancel or keep?
Very entertaining, sometimes funny, then drama, diverse characters, season finale leads me to believe they’ll be future episodes
Keep it! I love the actors and their relationships and the scripts are good. I liked Jon Tenny on The Closer and like him even better in King & Maxwell.
Love love the show. Do not cancel. Please!
Not since the early days of ” MOONLIGHTING ” and “REMINGTON STEELE. ” HAS THERE APPEARED SUCH DYNAMIC CHEMISTRY, SOPHISTICATED PLOTS, INTELLIGENT, ADULT DIALOGUE asiseen on “KING and MAXWELL”.
The supporting actors are magnificent. Raymond Hurst explores the autistic mind with deft sympathymand twinkling humor, which requires insight seldom seen today on the small screen. Ms. Lachman continues to delight with amblend of sensuality, irrepressiblemcriminality of the finest sort, and seeing her regularlymis amreal treat not felt since “DOLLHOUSE. “.
Let’s pray that TNT doesn’t commit the FOX NETWORK’s ridiculous “FIREFLY. ” blunder. DRM

Great show. Every time there’s a good one, they kill it. Hope K&M survive to fight crime another day!
King and Maxwell is my absolute favorite show. Jon Tenney was great on The Closer, but not seen as often as he should have been. He excels in this show, and I love the humor in the show, which has been lost on The Closer’s revamped Major Crimes. Rebecca Romijn is fabulous, too, and they make a great team! Edgar, played by Ryan Hurst (remembered for his great performance as Gerry Bertier from 2000’s ‘Remember the Titans’, is awesome as the autistic savant helping the duo solve crimes. Major Crimes is a dull comparison to The Closer. Even Provenza isn’t… Read more »
